Doubtful, but never say never. Not sure about 6 gens but on 5th gens the ECF inserts were hand picked from the 'perfect' laydown of the weave, while the imperfect ones were painted. So even if you could remove the paint, the weave might look like a den of snakes trying to kick each others asses.

They don’t have it yet. Otherwise I’d probably be over there today. Quote:
The parts themselves is only a $30 difference while the ECF option was like $600. Have to look at my window sticker again. |

As you said, it's essentially the same car apart from the new electronics that is a must for some and a meh for others. gtfoxy, this is not a stab at you in any way, I appreciate your decision and hope you'll love your new 2022

It is the same damn car. YOU stop the BS. There were no significant changes on anything in the 6th Gen ZL1 from 17 til now. Just a few minor appearance tweaks. Other than that there is nothing to say the 2021 or 2022 is vastly different. At least not enough that would warrant someone to feel the need to trade one in. The HC on the other hand has gone from 707 HP in the standard version to 797 in the RE and the SuperStock has over 800 HP. That aone is worth trading up for. Again, not the standard but the higher tiers. If the 2020 ZL1 had a 725 HP option then it would possibly be worth swapping for a newer one. But it doesn't.
That's exactly what I said jack. I gave an account from how I felt and from what I would do. Get off your damn high horse boy. Quote:

For '17s and 18's oil pump failures (out of warranty) is a reason |

I understand many people aren’t too concerned with a warranty, but unfortunately my experiences in the last decade or so has taught me it’s value. I’ve had to put 10’s of thousands of dollars fixing work trucks & dealing with the headaches & frustration when those breakdowns impact my business. Like having to put 18K in a truck I paid 30K for. Yeah, I could have just sold it then but I’d have still lost 20K selling it with a blown motor. That’s not counting turbos, injectors & all the other crap that broke. Now all I will have for the business is new. If something breaks it’s on them to fix it. Yeah, I spent $150K in new trucks (one 3, the other 4 years ago) & have another $80K one showing up in Aug & should be done at the upfitter in Sep. One more year & Ill probably be buying another one & selling or trading one. But the last 4yrs have gone exponentially better in terms of required maintenance. It just got to a point that it bled over to my personal cars. Yeah, I could keep this one & be perfectly happy. At the same time the market is giving me an opportunity to go to a newer model year. If the bottom starts to drop out the ‘19 will drop farther beyond the gap of what I’m able to pay now. So, call it hedging my bet, if you will. No offense taken bud. Hope you understand it a little more now. |

While the exposed CF has a very thick clear coat (like millimeter or so thick), the painted CF seems nowhere near as thick and shows a little bit of the CF texture. Enough to know it's CF but not so much that it looks like a 50 year old vette survivor. If you were to sand off all the paint, you'd likely be well into the fiber layer. My insert has Suntek Ultra PPF, but you can still see a little bit of the CF texture in the reflection on top. Nope. |

Yea the 5 people who had the issue. Don't make it out to be that this was some major prevalent issue. Very few ZL1s had this problem. A much larger percentage of GT350s had oiling issues. A much larger percentage of HCs had supercharger failures. And a larger percentage of GT500s are having all sorts of problems from engine failures to God knows what else. The handful of ZL1s with oil pump problems is insignificant.
